Bittu, short & sweet

Sony MAX has unveiled 2-minute comedy fillers to be aired in between movie screenings. Deebashree Mohanty speaks with Bharti Singh who is a part of this venture

Philhaal to gadi chal rahi hai aur mein usmein savaar hoon,” Bharti Singh says, answering a query on what’s up with her. That’s exactly how she is and that’s why you love her. “Don’t expect me to not pull your leg when the opportunity presents itself. And never underestimate the power of Bharti to not crack a PJ,” she says Chennai Express style.

The comedy queen is busy doing what she is best at. Creating gags which will be telecast in between movie screenings on Sony MAX. “I have heard people complaining about ads on TV, especially during movies. But now, the audience will get to see comedy snippets in which Krushna Abhishek, Paresh Ganatra and I will ensure that they don’t have a reason to surf channels even during a commercial break,” Singh tells you.

The channel has shot two short format comedy fillers — Bittu Bak Bak and Fully Deewana. The fillers, approximately of 2-3 minute duration, will delight viewers with interesting Bollywood facts presented in a comic manner. “I play Bittu who does filmy bakwaas all the time. I will be seen asking my teacher if Gabbar severed the arms of Thakur, to woh kanghee (comb) kaise karte thheyIJ and stuff like that,” she tells you.

Ask her who is her favourite stand-up comedienne and pat comes the reply — “ladkon mein Kapil Sharma and ladkiyon mein sirf aur sirf main”!
